The Visit

Directed by Chris Jensen

'The Visit' concerns the insurmountably wealthy Claire Zachanassian as she visits her impoverished hometown of Güllen. While the townsfolk are under the impression that she has come to revitalize their ruined economy, her true intentions are far more complex. Having been informally exiled from Güllen for bearing a child out of wedlock, she has returned to exact revenge on the lover who abandoned her and expose the deceitful nature of the town that so casually thrust her into a life of misery. If the town agrees to execute her betrayer, Alfred Ill, she will provide them with one billion dollars.The performative pleasantries of Güllen are slowly stripped away to reveal a society plagued with greed, corruption, and terror as Claire pursues her justice... “Justice for a billion."
